Birds in Urban City

noreply@blogger.com (Yusnu iman nurhakim) — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 16:55:39 PDT

In general the bird fauna of towns tends to have a lower species richness and divesity than nearby forest, but the biomass and density are higher, and there are a very few dominant species. In addition, the major guild shifts from the bark and canopy insect eaters to ground feeders. These changes are not surprising since relatively few urban trees exceed 10 m in height, and they are often widely dispersed between large areas of grass or hedges. The total number of individual birds and bird species is low in urban centres. Part of the reason is the predatory habits of young children with catapults, but ecological reasons include the lack of fruit suitable for birds and the few insects able to utilizzze the 'foreign' trees, leading to less food being available for insectivorous or partially-insectivorous birds.

The eurasian tree sparrow has spread widely in Indonesia. It is native of Eurpe, Russia and China, an probably first arrived in Indonesia aboard ships in the 16TH and 17TH centuries. The most frequent feeding preference is for insects accounting for 24 of the 39 species above. Some of these eat insects as a major part of their diet, while others eat insects as an important component of their diets when a higher protein intake is required such as during moulting or breeding or when they are feeding young. Insects are more abundant on trees with finely-divided leaves such as Samanea, Casuarina, Delonix, Parkia and Albazia, probably because of the greater number pf potensial resting places. Insect-rich microhabitats are also created by the growth of epiphytes, creepers and climbers on the trees.

The proprtion of nectarivorous birds is very small, but they are attractive to urban dwellers because of their bright colurs and their pleasing songs. In addition, the flowers from which they suck nectar are generally large and showy to attract these birds (as well as butterflies) to heights at which they can be easily seen, lants such as Hibiscus rosasinensis, Ixora and Calliandra can be planted.

Birds need not only food, but also places and materials for nesting. Two of the most favoured nesting materials are the fluffy seeds from Ceiba pentandra and long grass. Certain swiflets also use the dead leaves of Casuarina. Thus, these plants must be available in any area where birds are being encoraged to live. Hole-nesting birds can also be encouraged by leaving dead boughs in place, but only where human life is not endangered. In summary the best way to attract birds to urban areas is to provide areas of heterogenerous vegetation-tall aand short trees, shrubs and undergrowth, including long grass-and protecting from catapults.

Derita Pipit Jawa di Ruang Terbuka Hijau

noreply@blogger.com (Yusnu iman nurhakim) — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 16:13:55 PDT

Burung pipit jawa mudah dijumpai oleh kita. Di ruang terbuka hijau, burung ini banyak bersarang di pepohonan. Sarang burung dibuat dari campuran plastik, kertas, tali plastik dan dedaunan. Anak-anak kecil sering mengusik sarang burung ini. Mereka mengambil sarang yang sudah berisi piyik. Nantinya, piyik burung pipit ini dipelihara oleh anak-anak di kandang. Setiap sarang berisi piyik dengan jumlah antara 4-6 anakan. Kelak, jika piyik sudah bisa terbang, burung ini akan dapat kembali ke kandang dengan sendirinya. Sayangnya, burung pipit ini mudah cepat mati. Burung pipit ini tidak sempat berkembang biak. Ia tidak sempat menemukan pasangan hidupnya. Jadi, ada baiknya kita tidak usah mengambil sarang burung pipit jawa di ruang terbuka hijau. Lebih baik kita membiarkan burung pipit ini hidup di alam terbuka. Bukankah ruang terbuka hijau di daerah perkotaan sudah sangat sempit? Hati kita akan lebih senang dan damai mendengar kicauan burung di ruang terbuka hijau. Perasaan indah mewarnai hidup kita ketika burung-burung pipit jawa saling bercanda dan bernyanyi dengan teman-temannya. Buat siapa saja di seluruh penjuru dunia, biarkanlah burung pipit jawa hidup berdampingan dengan kita.

Cycling in The Samas Beach, Yogyakarta

noreply@blogger.com (Yusnu iman nurhakim) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 21:28:55 PDT

That morning, it was quite a struggle to penetrate the thick traffic in Yogyakarta city, but two hours later we finally entered Tehe Samas Beach gateway. It was almost half past nine when we arrived at the Samas Beach. I looked around and smiled. Cool, I thought. I've just found a new place to escape all those mad, frantic deadline.

Quite and peaceful, it is a world away from Yogyakarta's notoriously commercialized, ultra-touristy beach areas that have become flooded with souvenir-hawkers and vendors selling everything under the sun. No, that hectic madness doesn't exist here. I stood for a moment, breathing in the stillness of the surroundings, as my eyes admired the beautiful gently sloping rice terraces that come right down to the back of the beach.

I come back to the spot where my cycle parking. I began to cycling along the sweeping, dark sand of the beach. The sun was on the top. My head feel hot. The samas beach is not really suitable for swimming due to the currents and lack of emergency services. Like many beaches on the south coast of Java. On my journey, i met a handful of other visitors as well as locals who smiled we;comingly at us. During the rail ride, i were spoiled by the gorgeous sparkling beach, wonderful tropical coastline and rural panorama. Looking into the distance, Merapi and Merbabu Mountain could be seen.

I like the singing of waves under the hot Yogyakarta sun. The time for lunch. I find a food stall which enjoyable place, low price, and delicious food. I chat with food stall seller. Her name is mrs Mira. She offers some food for me like gorengan, tempe goreng and etc. I want a cold orange drink. I took tempe goreng and eat them.

The time is three precise. I am ready to back home. For to return to my home, it will take two hours. So, I arrive in my home more or less at five a clock. The sun was ready to disappear below the horizon, leaving streaks of bright red and orange in the sky. It was not easy to stop gazing at such beauty.

A romantic cycling ride on the coastline is not the only fun leisure activity found here. There is also trekking and bird tour.

Where my birds in yogyakarta

noreply@blogger.com (Yusnu iman nurhakim) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 17:03:29 PDT

My name is Yusnu Iman Nurhakim. You can call me iman. I am 28 years old. I live in Krapyak Wetan, 3.5 Km from Yogyakarta to south. I have spent my life time in Yogyakarta for 9 years. The first 7 years of my life in Yogyakarta, I studied in Gadjah Mada University. My major is Forestry Faculty with concentrate in forest resource of conservation study.

When i spent the first live in Yogyakarta, this city have lot paddy field. The birds like blekok (Ardeola speciosa) frequently had been seen on paddy field. They are in group. They feed like snail, insect and other molussc.

Every morning, i come and visit paddy field to watch this bird. With fresh air, cool weather, low pollutant i usually jog in surround Yogyakarta street. I usually stop for a moment when i saw the birds on paddy field. I sit near edge paddy field. I watch them. I feel happy if the birds fly in group and made "V" formation. Sometime i account them. I account birds there are 8-10 bird which can be counted.

But, unfortunately the Yogyakarta city today is becoming the buildings cuty, crowd city, water pollution, trash in anywhere. Many paddy field gone, to be changed building. A street full vehicle, so crowded, poluttion in every where.. Trees cutting clear. The land is used settle. Every where you look, you just found buildings. The number of buildings have increased in each years. They built settlement, house, shop, house office an etc. I just found birds such as burung greja (Passer montana), burung pipit (Lonchura sp), Burung walet sapi (Colocalia esculanta). If i lucky i could to seen burung kacamata in shrubs.

The Yogyakarta city just remains green land such as mausoleum. If you want to get fresh air, cool air, low pollution come to mausoleum. You can go to krapyak wetan mausoleum which is one of sample.

I hope all people consider about this. I want my birds back to visit Yogyakarta city. I hope man and animals can live together. All i want is for people to start thinking about this things. I want to see the birds feed. I don't like see the birds in cage. I want to see birds fly on sky.

Birdwatching in Way Kambas National Park, Lampung Province, Sumatra

noreply@blogger.com (Yusnu iman nurhakim) — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 03:45:57 PDT

Along the Look Trail

Storm’s Stork is less wary than the duck, but more difficult to find. You may strike lucky at any of the above-mentioned sites. This swampy lake is only accessible (with a guide) in October when the water is at its lowest. Ironically, a 10-min walk from the guest-house, is where most bird-watchers finally see this Little-known stork, whose nest was first described for science as recently as 1987.

Woodpwckers

www.fws.gov

The 2-km, circular Look Trail enters the forest on the right, 150 m back along the track out of Way Kanan, and exits directly behind the guest-house. It passes through an area of stunted, secondary forest. The open undergrowth makes it a great place to get good views of galliformes, which are usually such difficult birds to see well. It is a real delight to watch a male Crested Fireback quietly scraping amongst the leaf litter, its blue eye-wattles, navy-blue, slightly iridescent body plumage and white outer tail feathers contrasting subtly with the browns and greens of the forest. With luck, a band of Crested Partridge will cross your path. Their spiky, red crests and energetic tramping give these little birds a rather wacky appearance. But the really memorable bird to be found along this trail is the Great Argus, a pheasant which, with its 75-cm long tail, is one of the world’s more extraordinary birds. A few slow circuits of the trail may be required before you finally cross paths with this magnificent creature.

The main track leading out of Way Kanan is the most productive in terms of amassing a long list of birds, including seven or eight species of woodpeckers and up to ten species of babbler. Hill Myna frequently flies overhead, and two either common and distinctive birds are black-bellied Malkoha and- a great favourite-scarlet rumped Trogon. Strangely enough, despite its intense scarlet-and-black body plumage, the trogon’s blue eyelids are its really distinctive feature.

The Way Kanan clearing is a good place to watch at dawn or dusk for hornbills and pigeons flying over, and a bat hawk occasionally puts in an appearance.

Birdwatching in Way Kambas National Park, Lampung, Sumatra Island

Searching for White-winged Duck

With a world population of only about individuals spread across India, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Sumatra, White-winged Ducks are decidedly thin on the ground. However, they are birds of lowland swamp forest, and a few of the 30 or so that live in Way Kambas are always to be found in tha vicinity of Way Kanan. It is just a matter of catching up with them-something which is much easier during the dry season between June and November, when water levels recede, leaving a few small pools, and you do not have to wade through waterlogged forest.

Rawa Gajah (elephant swamp), a 20-min paddle up the river from Way Kanan, is usually the first place to try. On the river you will have no trouble getting acquainted with the impressive Stork-billed Kingfisher-unmistakable, thanks to its large size and yellow head-and you will probably also see Grey-headed Fish-eagle perched on an over hanging bough. Rawa Gajah is a wetland of about 1 ha that dries out to grass and mud at the height of the dry season (October) but which, when flooded, is a regular spot for the ducks as wel as Lesser Adjutant.

Rawa Pasir (sand marsh) and the forest pond of Ulung-ulung Satu are also good areas for ducks: both are located 3-4 km from Way Kanan, along (for the first part) a well-maintained trail that starts behind the Tiger project building at Way Kanan. There are plenty of exciting birds to see on the way-so it is worth taking your lunch and making a day of it. The forest edge around Rawa Pasir can be particularly productive for leafbirds, bulbuls, flowerpeckers and sunbirds.

The ducks are incredibly wary, so getting good views before fly away is something of an art. The problem lies in the abrupt juxtaposition of forest and water; scanning the whole of the river at Rawa Pasir or the large pond at Ulung-ulung Satu without stepping into full view is almost impossible. Moreover, many birders can tell of how, after assuring themselves that no ducks were present, they stepped out into the open only for a group of ducks to explode in a blaze of black-and-white wing flashes from behind a semi submerged log.
